They demanded action against BJP MLA Nitesh Rane and preacher Ramgiri Maharaj, accusing them of making hate statements. The rally attracted more than 12,000 attendees.

Moving forward, we found several similar videos showing massive crowd gathered to welcome the India cricket team at Marine Drive in Mumbai. The Print published a similar video on YouTube on 4 July with a caption “Cricket fans throng Mumbai’s Marine Drive to witness India’s victory parade.”
